Coloured bath resurfacing for East Cambridgeshire homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in East Cambridgeshire, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in East Cambridgeshire

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
